Hit The Sack

Universal baby dilemma: safe, warm bedding that stays put. You may be doing a diligent tuck-in at 7pm, but an hour later he's wriggled free and curled himself into a fetal ball in the corner of the crib to keep warm. You hate to straight-jacket him under the covers (what if he gets too hot?) and even when you do, he always seems to Houdini his way out again.

For years Europeans have used sleeping bags as the alternative to traditional bedding. Grembo, a parent-founded, environmentally-conscious company, is helping to bring this trend stateside. Made of organic cotton fabric that's free of dyes, the Grembo (Italian for womb) Sleep Sacs zip right over your little one's jammies to keep him warm and comfortable all night long. To moderate temperature, there are three different seasonal designs: a breathable weave for summer; a heavier knit fabric for fall and spring; and a hypoallergenic polyester filling with cotton cover for the winter months.

Each season features a couple of cozy styles in earth-tone colors -- quilted chambray or sateen, lined in terry cloth, flannel or fleece, with a side zipper for newborns or one in front for older babies. The reverse-zipper design, which closes at the foot of the bag, means there's no way your little one can squirm his way out. And although the Grembo is an European design, it's made in the US.

That's one big dilemma solved. Now if only you could wean him off Oscar Meyer.
